Here's another link from rockauto.com A tad more expensive for the 1 3/8 or 1 7/16 but you have overseas shipping and they can get it done http://www.rockauto.com/m/mobilecatalog.php

No idea how this guys prices differ from Gary but he has 3" units already made in sizes very close to our stock unit (Core Dimensions: 31.88"x 17") plus he will custom build. Personally I think 3" is overkill unless your doing some serious towing while making big power. Personaly my 7/8" radiator with a 170F thermostat has performed flawlessly even when towing up to 5000lbs on flat land. Has also put up with all my racing. I do want the 1 3/8 upgrade though as I plan to have built motor making 600rwhp and additional cooling will be needed.

I wouldn't go through Crash for anything 04-08+ anyway. But that's just my opinion. Which no one ask for but I'm giving out anyway.

^^^THIS^^^ 03 and before go for it. But 04 and up I think not.
A member here learned that lesson this month. Was sold a high volume fuel pump and told to bolt it on and go. Computer would adjust voltage. I told him that was incorrect and advised him to call JDM to confirm the fuel pump would have to be tuned. Needless to say he sent the pump back.

Interesting because the gentlemen who bought the 340lph pump is not working with Troyer. He said he bought the pump from you for his Whipple setup and was told to bolt it on and the computer would adjust. This is NOT the incident or person who bought a pump and was told by Troyer to run a BAP wide open. Different person all together different truck.

Sorry if I offended you. Not my intent. You seem to know your stuff on the 97-03 trucks. Just not the 04 and up.

Crash, anybody can bolt on a blower. It's not hard. Hell bolting on headers takes more effort then bolting on a blower. If I was told some made up stuff then so be it. But I honestly don't know why someone would call me concerned about it and wanting advice. But whatever. I don't know what your experince is. I know you from this forum. And what I have gathered here is that you are trying hard to sale ProChargers. Regardless of a threads subject or question you have to post something about one. And of all your vast experince you in the end have very little data and the stories you tell are either beyond belief or regarding the same 2 or 3 vehicles. The lastest of which is Redrum a truck that obvioulsy has some real tuning issues pegging a MAf at mere 600hp. But instead of stating that you make it as if the Procharger is so badass that it is doing this. It's misleading.

As for my experince...I've said it over and over. I'm a grease monkey. That's it. I do this for fun. I've been modding vehicles for 18 years. Before that it was dirt bikes and race motors for go-carts. I study and learn as much as I can. I design and build whatever I can. Some things work, somethings don't. I share what I've learned (a lot right here on this forum) with anyone who wants to know. My goal when giving advice is to save people as much money and heart ache as possible. Save them from the mistakes I've made and enjoy the feedback when they are thrilled with their ride.

Bingo! No one is better then anyone here just because they can turn a wrench. Hell I'd take your advice for 3vs Jason over doofys. A guy with 500rwhp 3v has more experience and credit then a dude that just bolts on blowers supposedly.

I've tuned quite a few cars my self there is no way it will peg at 600 rwhp I've made 735 rwhp in a tbird at 22 psi and I'm no we're near pegging it I've got plenty of room left, and I have 6 vehicles with boost I think I know what I'm doing in that department I've installed cams on a 4 valve cobra, I work on all vehicles and specialize in ford, but work on European cars and imports I do it all, what's bad is I'm disabled and still do it, I love it and as Jason said I wouldant be bragging on a Pegged maf at 600 rwhp

And are you forgetting that my partner and I built this truck? A 10-second SCREW. A 2-valve no less.

Lol you ran at the track what like a 15-16 second quarter? Your *** is full of **** stock ecos will almost half track you with a boost launch and a 14 second quarter. Hell if the stock fox doesn't miss a shift he'll beat you too. Go ahead and lie some more how your 15-16 second truck beats everything that runs a second faster in the quarter

Yes you and your partner made a 2v fast. Probably only people to ever do so. Show me a 3v truck you've made that'll beat Jasons

Nah forget about me. FatherFord is the man to catch. 12.5 I believe he ran on the stock motor. Maybe I will get there when JDM tunes this thing.

Well Fatherford would have to jumpstart his truck first or put in a new battery so by the time he does that you'll be done with the quarter mile.
